Yes, it is. Neither am I, nor is Clete. Possible only in the sense that it's just one interpretation. However, there is only one TRULY possible way of viewing Revelation CORRECTLY. If you're resistant to one view just because you don't like it, or you think it's irrelevant, or unnecessary...

I don't care unless you can show why the reasons I have presented are wrong. No, you haven't. Yes, that's the verse I was using to support my argument. No, it's not. It's Paul, and Peter, James, and John, agreeing with each other that Paul should go to the uncircumcised, and Peter, James...

The problem is, again, as Clete has pointed out, that John, the author of Revelation, along with Peter and James, agreed to go ONLY the Circumcision (Israel), while Paul went to the uncircumcision (Gentiles). Thus, the literal opposite of what you said is more likely, which is that there may...

You realize that those seven churches are in what is modern day Turkey, right, called "Asia minor," right? From a brief, cursory Google search, I found references to JEWISH settlements in AT LEAST FIVE of those cities. I'm sure if I did more digging (pardon the pun), I'd find references to the...

It's also a sin.

What was Christ's end-goal for coming to earth?

So instead of actually responding to my post in which I provide what you're asking for, you take a potshot at me. Shame on you.

Stumbling backwards into truth.

Throughout the Bible, Israel is described as God's bride/wife, and then also as an adulteress, an unfaithful wife, whom God divorces (heck, the entire book of Lamentations is a certificate of divorce (which was required by the Mosaic to be given by the husband to the woman he was divorcing)...

He literally says "the law kills", GD! And then he contrasts that by saying "the Spirit gives life"! That's rather explicit! I've pointed out before, either in this thread or another, that the authors of the Bible were VERY careful in how they worded what they said. Which is referring to...

If you're hear just to take potshots at members of this forum, let alone staff, then just leave now. I'm angry because I've spent the past how many pages of this thread making SOUND, LOGICAL ARGUMENTS, BACKED UP BY SCRIPTURE no less, and all he's done is simply repeat himself over and over...

This is bearing false witness, you liar! I have NEVER said contradict scripture with another scripture. SCRIPTURE IS CONSISTENT WITH ITSELF! The only thing that is contradictory here is YOUR INTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE with the REST of Scripture! APOLOGISE for bearing false witness against...

Talk about missing the forest for the trees!!!

Haha, that's funny, you think I'm referring to the rest of the verse! Hahahaha! NO YOU IDIOT! I'M TALKING ABOUT THE ENTIRE CHAPTER AND EVEN THE ENTIRE REST OF THE BIBLE YOU DOLT!

Forgot to address this: The word "surely" isn't in the original Hebrew text. The phrase used (as pointed out previously) is "dying you shall die."

It has everything to do with being dead spiritually. Because the law kills, but the Spirit gives life. I would have thought you would have recognized some of the passages I was referring to, GD. See the link below. Yes, I did. Spiritual deadness is by choice. But we can CHOOSE to come...

Verse 6 has God saying "I change not" in His righteous character and His commitment to keep His promises. The next verse has God saying if Israel returns to Him, He will return to them. That's a change. So either God contradicted Himself, or "I change not" is not meant to be taken woodenly...

Derf is saying to believe God, too, LN. The difference is that he's telling you look at the context instead of just isolating 3 words out of a verse to found your doctrine on. So do we. Which doesn't tell the entire story. The context adds important information that you're intentionally...

When we sin, we are separated from God. "I was alive once without the law. But when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died." It has nothing or very little to do with whether God can call out to us after we are separated from Him. Someone who rejects the gospel is just as spiritually...
